What are Mizzou’s upset chances Saturday in Atlanta?

Since 1992, only five outright underdogs have toppled the favorite, but it’s happened twice since 2009, most recently Auburn’s 59-42 victory over these same Tigers last season. The widest opening lines (after Florida as a 24-point fave in 1995) came in 2004 and 1996 when Auburn and Florida were favored by 14.5 points, respectively.
